The Man He Killed

This poem is about war of two people meeting who are not on the same side and if they meet anywhere else but the battle field they would probably have bought him a drink. Saying that war can make you do things that you normally don't do. If he was needing help you would help or assist him if asked. But when you are on a side and face a foe you are to choose your life or his in order to survive. You have no control which is what he states about killing in his poem.
